Been back at work one week and already the hols seem like they were months ago. It's been going like a fair and tons of things are popping up all over the term and most need kick off action now! The Scottish topics are paramount - this being the Year of Homecoming, what with it being Rabbie Burns 250th anniversary. (Shamefaced I admit, I don't know if that's of his hatching or despatching!) All the scottish slang, doric and broad scots language is rearing it's Nessie like head and baffling the denizens of Primary 6! All Scottish born and bred but have no inkling of 99% of the words! Not that they are, themselves,beautiful speakers mind you, in fact some of them could do with a lot of speech therapy - it would help immensely with their dreadful spelling! If ye canny say it how de ye expect tae spell it? Then there's the football and basketball tournaments coming up in the next few weeks, a trip to Edinburgh Castle for our Jacobites topic, assemblies, Valentines Day, Mother's Day, our class enterprise Auction, Easter Celebrations, and the School centenary celebrations to prepare for in June and the rest of this term vanishes into a haze of projected pandemonium...
Meanwhile back at the ranch the rehearsals for The King and I continue apace and we have only 8 weeks left to get the whole thing pulled together. Spent time on Saturday sewing costumes and there will be more of the same this Wed and then at various intervals until they are all created and we can relax (?). Cannot rave highly enough about the team who all throw their lot into the ring and work like exceedingly hard working things for incredible lengths of time to get all these things done for the good of the children. It's hard to type with crossed fingers but I do my best!!
Feel like I could have a long sleep and wake up when it's all over but that would require being in a coma and, unless I was guaranteed significant weight-loss and a new wardrobeful of clothes to enhance said weight-loss, that's not an option.
Have finally finished watching all four seasons of Desperate Housewives and am only waiting for season 5 to come out so we can complete the collection. Can't wait for the new series to start!!!! Now we can start on the Will and Grace set that Jennifer got! Then we have the complete set of James Bond films so ironing will no longer be the boring chore it used to be! Always assuming, that is, that there is actually something for ironing - we do eventually catch up and have empty baskets for, oh, let me think, at least 6 hours!
Well the evening has frittered away and it's time I slipped off up the staircase hill to Bedfordshire. It's not this sort of fun at 6 in the morning....
Till next time,
